Service Brake Operation

If optional brakes are installed and connected, the
hydraulic/hydraulic or air/hydraulic systems automatically
work in conjunction with the tractor’s own brakes.

Application and release of tractor brakes during tractor
motion applies and releases the service brake system on
the drill.

Know Your Tractor Systems:

Application of tractor Parking and/or Emergency brakes may

or may not 

operate the drill service brake system, depending

on the design of the tractor systems.

Consult your tractor manual for details on when remote
brake ports are engaged and released. Note any
variance from general behavior in the table at right. Make
sure the tractor operator knows when drill brakes are
engaged and released.

Single-Line Hydraulic Brake Operation

In this system, a single hydraulic line

 from the tractor

operates a de-intensifier

 cylinder on the drill, which is

coupled to the drill master cylinder

. The drill brake

hydraulic lines are separate from the tractor’s line.

With the hydraulic/hydraulic system, braking is
immediately available when the tractor hydraulic system
is active.

Dual-Line Air/Hydraulic Brake Operation

In this system, the “supply” (yellow or blue coded) line
charges a reservoir air tank

 on the drill. The “service”

(red coded) line

 meters air from the reservoir

 to a

booster cylinder

, which operates the drill’s hydraulic

brake lines

.

Service Air Brakes Not Instantly Available:

Prior to movement, wait for the tractor air system to reach full
charge after drill hookup. Tractor and drill reservoir tanks

must be pressurized. Drill service braking may not be

immediately available upon tractor hookup with the air/
hydraulic system.
